Here Volkswagen presents a new trend, more powerful, designed to propel, at first, the Golf, Golf Estate and Golf Sportsvan.
The 1.0 TSI here to test develops 115 hp and 200 Nm, and is expected to eventually replace the 4-cylinder 1.2 TSI 110 hp.
This mechanism is a concentrate of technology: mass reduced by use of aluminum, low friction, very high injection pressure (250 bar), specific exhaust , A real gas plant which rightly asks a question on the long-term reliability. As is also the case for the 1.0 EcoBoost Ford.
Anyway, this mechanism is attractive in practice. Silent and available in town, the 3-cylinder does not lack character on the road. The 1.0 liter up in the towers with gusto, and offers great performance (0-100 km / h in 9.7 s). Only the staging of the 6-speed manual transmission remains too long. Note that the DSG is also available.
Pleasant to carry, this mechanical appetite of a sparrow. We never exceeded 5 liters per 100 km, it is true on the Dutch roads undemanding.
Intermediate finish and fitted with 16-inch wheels, the Volkswagen Golf 7 is to his advantage. The compromise comfort / efficiency is convincing here. No need to invest in expensive wheels and the damping control optional.
For the rest, the Volkswagen Golf retains its attributes. A beautiful habitability , 4. And for a two-speed finishing quality. Rigorous on visible parts, and less careful in the lower parts and rear. Hopefully the Wolfsburg firm will introduce some changes to its next facelift.
